i have an 11week old sharpei who has suddenly took a liking to human flesh. its our first dog and i know she is teething, she  has got lots of toys but  justs keeps going for everyones hands faces etc. i have tried  saying ow!! really loudly then ignoring her so she knows she is loosing a playmate when she does  bite, but she doesnt seem to care . im scared its not teething but her character.has anyone got any advice as i need some desperately

All puppies bite so dont worry Joanna
It doesnt mean you have an aggressive dog in the making.
Carry on as you are doing by saying either "OW!!" or "NO" really loudly and make sure you do this every time.
Dizzy on the board has shar peis and may be able to offer more specific information on your breed
By the way mouthing usually lessens as the adult teeth come through

thanks lel for offering advice so quick, ill check out dizzys site, i know im over reacting but its my first dog and i havent got a clue, i read books asked the breeder all the relevant questions but i still feel as if im totally unprepaired .

It's like being a first time mum! I've had adult (recue) dogs for many years but Dizzy (the pup not the Shar Pei breeder ;) ) is my first pup and I'm petrified of getting it wrong!

Puppy's bite and it's only natural - I wouldn't worry about it unless she is being aggressive and not playing.

As well as ignoring/saying 'OW!' Make sure she's rewarded for playing nicely with you too - always have something handy to offer her after you've briefly ignored her to teach her what you DO want her to do.....
